I thought about one of these but I can't see the track rod running across the front axel lasting long, it's in a prime place for damage.

My Super Dexta let water in through the precleaner, or so I think. When I tryed to start it in the cold weather at christmas I could not understand why it would not rev above idle, then I discovered the oil/emulsion in the air cleaner had frozen, so I had to thaw it out on the raeburn then refill wi...

Thanks guys, i have run the earth straight from the bettery to the starter and this made a big difference, what I thought was a good earth obviously was not.

The Starter Motor on my Super Dexta Is slow to turn when cold I am quite sure the problem lies with the starter because it has 15-40 Oil and and all the wireing connections are clean. The starter it self has good brushes and the comutater is only a little worn. I striped the motor down last night an...

Hi, I used a resovouir from MF 35 / 135 and joined to the return pipe to the fuel tank this seems to work ok.

Ben, you are best to Fit a new oil pump, thay are not expensive when you think of the cost of the rest of the engine, and are readily avalable, the oil pump is the Heart of the engine, should anything go wrong with it all your hard work and money will be wasted.

I forgot to mention I removed the old regulater compleatly and made sure all wireing conections were well insulated.

Ben The wireing is the same exept there are only two wires on the Lucas Alternator and I did not use a resistor. What I did on the International was join the Battery live wire at the control box to the D wire (control box to Dynamo wire) together and well insulated, this give the 12v supply to the A...

Hi, sorrie I dont know which Alternator I fitted, when I bought it I exchanged it with a Mini Alternator at a local motor factors, but I do know it's a Lucas reconditioned one. The wireing is very simple, only two wires to the back, a large wire (the feed ) and a small one for the warning light. It ...

Hi Ben, the alternator I would fit would be a Lucas LRA type, these were fitted to Mini's and other popular car's, it has a self contained Regulater and minimum Wireing required, it should not be hard to mount on the engine, I used this type on my International B 275, but I left my Super Dexta with ...
